Home MenuJoin Trauma Intervention Program (TIP)
Looking for a rewarding volunteer opportunity? We are always looking for TIP volunteers who provide temporary support until the persons involved in the crisis are able to depend on family, friends, and neighbors. TIP volunteers are called to emergency scenes to provide immediate emotional and practical support to victims and their families, neighbors, roommates, and witnesses when something traumatic has happened. TIP volunteers go where they are requested by Police or Fire personnel. Some of the victims aided by TIP volunteers are:
- Family members following the death of a loved one
- Family members of a person who has died by suicide
- Victims of crime including rape, assault, robbery, and burglary
- Children whose parents have been killed or injured
- Victims of fire and auto accidents
- Disoriented older persons
All TIP volunteers are required to graduate from the TIP Training Academy (39-hour classroom training) and must pass a background check. If you are interested in becoming a TIP volunteer, please visit our website at send an e-mail to https://tipsandiego.org, send an email to info@tipsandiego.org, or call (855) 847-7343.
